@rockdelux.bsky.social reviews the new Rafael Anton Irisarri @blackknoll.bsky.social album, "Points of Inaccessibility".
rockdelux.com/discos/rafae...
El minimalismo ambient-drone de “Points Of Inaccessibility”, del compositor norteamericano Rafael Anton Irisarri ( @blackknoll.bsky.social ), discurre entre Gavin Bryars y Third Eye Foundation, a veces con atmósferas granuladas que remiten a Fennesz.

"each track feels monumental in scale, sweeping, monolithically, across our eye-line in slow motion. Like a wall of sound built from orchestral drones... a powerful and cathartic listen"
